Genetic Information : Acquisition, Access, and Control

Rating:
Summary: Review from The Journal of Biosocial Science, Vol. 35
Review: "In my opinion, anybody working in the fields of biotechnology, pharmacology, genetic diagnostics, gene therapy or just 'pure genetics'- especially if teaching other people- should be aware of the problems discussed in this book. No one working in molecular biology or genetics is unaffected by the problem of ethics. Even searching for the most fundamental laws of genomics does not excuse researchers from taking responsibility for their results.... This book highlights many fields and problems we should be aware of when undertaking any activity in contemporary genetics, medicine, and education. Our voices in any discourse on such hot topics would be more convincing if we ourselves were aware of the critical issues discussed in this book." - Stanislaw Cebrat, Department of Genetics, Wroclaw University
